How to Change the Headlight Bulbs on a Nissan Sentra

Model: Nissan Sentra MK 5, B15 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Light bulb

To replace the headlight bulbs on a Nissan Sentra, you need to access the space behind the bulbs in the engine compartment. First, lift the hood and secure it, then reach your hand into the space just behind the headlight. Locate the bulb socket and pull it out, then disconnect the old bulb and replace it with the new one, repositioning it inside the headlight. It is recommended not to touch the surface of the bulbs with your fingers to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can reduce their lifespan.
